Going on what Westmisnster were saying in our last game, they dont even know whats happening. Unless they get some assistance from the school player wise, they cant play ATCA because of the 2 team minimum, and they struggle to field a B grade at the best of times.
Don't think ATCA has a two team minumun rule. Unley Old Scholars started a team up this year and have only 1 side.
Thats the impression the Westminster boys have.Time will tell.
Bazza i dont think there is a 2 team minimum, however i think, as WOS want to, if your club plays in the 1 day comp, then you must have a side in the 2 day comp with ATCA. So, because they want a 1 day side, they need 2 teams because of that rule!

I would assume now, that Warradale will be promoted if they win this week against a strong Keswick B grade, and maybe even if they lose the GF as they have finished top and made it to the GF.
surely warradale have to win for them to go up. We made 4 grand finals in 5 years but never went up for being runners up.
Yeah? That's pretty rough. IMO, I'd like to see a team relegated each year and a new team brought up where it makes sense to. 2 reasons:
1. it should provide even more incentive to field your best possible section 1 team every week
2. doing the "wrong thing" as a club (loss of points for fines/no attendance etc) has a real consequence
The only caveat I see is if the section 2 side is strong enough to play section 1 cricket. As for this year, South Road were very competitive and going by their pure cricket ability, probably deserve to stay up. But, IMO, it shouldn't just be about that.
If Warradale aren't keen, I reckon Belair would be worthy despite finishing 4th. What's the worst that happens? They finish bottom and they go back down...
Roseboy, i agree with everything you wrote in that! Altho, belair is a fair trip for me personally, i dont think it would hurt them or the association for them to come up.
If WOS do go, and Warradale arnt keen on Section 1, then Belair will come up. Im sure there the type of side that will take it with both arms and give it a fair dinkum crack!
Also, interesting to note, in the other section 4 game, that i dont think has got a mention, Clapham, after finishing top with 3 outrights, 6 wins, 1 rain affected draw, and 1 loss, got skittled for 30 and smashed in the semi. Surely they are going to be considered for promotion to division 3 after such a year??
